I find it incredibly difficult to believe that the US government is demanding the removal of climate science videos from YouTube, and even more difficult to believe that YouTube would acquiesce to such a request.
I'm sure we'll learn of a far more mundane explanation in short order. My money is on some automated process mistakenly removing content (possibly triggered by trolls, but just as likely triggered by a sub-par algorithm).

- ptaipale 10y agoIt's not really a mistake. It's the design of those automated systems. There is little to no human control in taking down material that people complain about. There have been activists - e.g. Muslim immigrants who work against Islamism - who are targeted by complaints from hard-line Islamists and whose accounts have been suspended. So this is nothing to do with Trump administration.
